LET'S START
Puberty Marks the Beginning of Growth Spurt – Girls typically start their growth spurts around the ages of 8 to 13. – During this time, they may experience rapid height and body changes.
Peak Growth Occurs Around Menarche – The first menstrual period (menarche) usually occurs around age 12 to 14. – Many girls experience their most significant growth during this period.
Growth Plates Close in Late Teen – Growth plates, responsible for bone growth, close in late adolescence. – Girls often stop growing in height around ages 16 to 18.
Genetics Play a Significant Role – Genetic factors heavily influence a girl's final height. – A family history of late growth spurts may delay the growth cessation.
Nutrition and Health Impact Growth – A balanced diet, adequate sleep, and regular exercise support healthy growth. – Chronic illnesses or nutritional deficiencies can affect growth potential.
Understanding when girls stop growing is essential for parents and healthcare providers to monitor development and ensure overall well-being.
